The consequences of pharmaceutical product recalls can be huge. Not only is company reputation and profits at stake, but most importantly, deviating pharmaceuticals can cause patient harm and even death.
This video replay is a combination of three webinars. Each session is focused on a specific cause of product recalls and the order is as follows:
Session 1: Recall cause: Drug product and glass interaction
Session 2: Recall cause: Cracking/breakages
Session 3: Recall cause: non-conformance
What you will learn about:
- How the issue can arise
- Why it’s an issue
- Related recall causes
- Testing and analysis that can be carried out
- Preventative measures
